Irfan Güneş and Emin Demirpolat will travel from Zongulak (Turkey) to Yerevan on June 17. The four-day visit is aimed at organizing meetings and establishing partnership with Armenian bike riders to encourage cycle races between the two countries.

Irfan Güneş and Emin Demirpolat are members of the Bicycle Riders Association and will arrive in Armenia as the grantees of the 3rd round of Hrant Dink Foundation’s Armenia-Turkey Travel Grant.

The Hrant Dink Foundation established the Turkey-Armenia Travel Grant in March 2014 and will issue open calls up to May 2015. The Travel Grant will finance the travels of around 200 individuals, giving them an opportunity to travel to the neighboring country for the implementation of their targeted projects.

The Turkey-Armenia Travel Grant is administered with the financial assistance of the European Union within the framework of the Support to the Armenia-Turkey Normalization Process Programme.

Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) in collaboration with TOG (Community Volunteers Foundation, Turkey) organised an exchange visit of Armenia-based youth workers and volunteers to Istanbul, Izmit and Eskişehir on July 18-23, 2017 implemented as a part of EPF’s YouthBank activity within the framework of programme Support to the Armenia-Turkey Normalisation Process, funded by the European Union.
